Educational task:
Big History and interdisciplinary connection of society and natural science
Research Interests:
Paleomagnetism, Extraterrestial Paleomagnetism, Structural Geology, including faulting dynamics, lunar magnetic anomaly, meteorite magnetics, impact cratering, tsunami mitigation
I have conducted researches of the magnetic effect of frictional heating on faulting and impact cratering of rocks and meteorites for the origin of earthquake lightning, geodynamo action and asteroid dynamo, and also subsurface signature beneath Reiner Gamma on the Moon. I also have developed a state-of-art technology for micropaleomagnetic analysis, such as scanning magneto-impedance (MI) magnetic microscope and spot laser heating system. After the 3.11 Tohoku Earthquake, I am working on the tsunami mitigation research by tsunami boulders in the framework of magnetic relaxation theory.
